Robert Graves is a Mental Peak Performance coach, Certified Hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner living in Southern California, focusing on Athletic Peak Performance training, and Military Transition Assistance.
Leaving behind his 10-year Marine Corps career, he vowed to continue to help his brothers and sisters-in-arms, in order for those who served to become successful on the outside of the military, and "How to Grow a Beard: A Military Transition Guide Back Into Civilian Life," was born, which was written to share with transitioning veterans, the lessons he learned the hard way, during his own transition--sharing them with veterans, in order to help aid them toward successful transitions. The book turned into the #YearOfTheVet podcast, has now allowed Robert able to reach more veterans in hopes that his words and tactics can help even just one person can benefit from it. Because off his work with his veteran family, Robert was awarded the Outstanding Veteran of the Year Award in 2017, by the California DAV!
He has dedicated his time outside of the service, to learning and pursuing ways to help those in need (with special focus for adolescents who are looking for guidance for the future as well as veterans), while also structuring a foundational plan to open a Charter school focused on improving the lives of single parent and underprivileged families through a curriculum that incorporates life skills and mindfulness tools.
"I understand that looking for someone you can trust with your life and deepest emotions is hard. As your teammate... my focus is on your success. Because if you believe it, you can achieve it. And I believe you can achieve." (corny... but true)
